Dashboard Confessional -
"The Secret's In The Telling"

The signal is subtle.
We pass just close enough to touch.
No questions, no answers
We know by now to say enough,
With only simple words,
With only subtle turns,
The things we feel alone for one another.

There is a secret that we keep.
I won't sleep if you won't sleep.
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given.
We are compelled to do what we must do.
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden.

So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight.

Our act of defiance
We keep this secret in our blood
No paper or letters
We pass just close enough to touch
We love in secret names
We hide within our veins
The things that keep us bound to one another

There is a secret that we keep,
I won't sleep if you won't sleep.
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given.
We are compelled to do what we must do.
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden.

Until the last trace and this hope...
Is frozen deep inside my bones,
And this broken fate has claimed me,
And my memories for its own,
Your name is pounding through my veins.
Can't you hear how it is sung?
And I can taste you in my mouth.
Before the words escape my lungs
And I'll whisper only once...

There is a secret that we keep
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
We are compelled to do what we have to
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

'Cause you will be somebody's girl
And you will keep each other warm
But tonight I am feeling cold.

"i've disappeared from the real world
all i have at the moment is my music
and the thunderstorm outside
which is probably going to take away
my electricity real soon."
